Petite joys

Ten tiny details that've made my week great.

There’s a lot to be said for appreciating the smaller, not necessarily finer details of the everyday mundane. After a particularly sombre fortnight in Britain, I thought it was about time I reclaimed my 'happy' and focused on the littlest good in everyday, simultaneously burying my head in the metaphorical sand on the news front.

一. An afternoon with my gang! A couple of weeks ago, the girls (Hannah, Sophie, Sarah and Lily) and I booked ourselves a table for the Hello Kitty afternoon tea at Cutter & Squidge in Soho and it certainly didn’t disappoint! By now you’re probably familiar with my penchant *cough* obsession *cough* for Hello Kitty, so of course it was a must. And I’ve got to say, an afternoon full of adorable eats, good tea and even better company is the best pick-me-up. Nothing better than these girls.

二. Returning home to my beaming puppy on Thursday nights. I spend two days a week in London these days for a mini fake weekend and, whilst I don’t like goodbyes, it does mean I return home to an excitable puppy who can’t wait to see me! My gosh, it is so rewarding having a puppy. Milo, you’re the best.

四. Sorbet skies. Each time I zip home on a train, I marvel at the English skies. It’s an odd sort of comment to make I suppose, but one of the things I missed most whilst living in smoggy humid Hong Kong was the beautiful, changeable skies of England.

六. Crosstown Doughnuts! I bloody love these doughnuts after sampling some with Sarah in Farringdon and there’s currently a stand in Westfield Stratford. We picked up two Glazed Cinnamon Scroll doughnuts last week and they were the perfect touch to a perfect faux weekend.

七. Having the time to enjoy an entire fresh cup of tea. Truly! No breaks, no setting the mug down multiple times.
